Description
WO 2014/067958 PCT/EP2013/072630 PROCESSES FOR THE PREPARATION OF AN OLEFINIC PRODUCT Field Of The Invention The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of an olefinic product, such as one or both of ethylene and propylene, from an oxygenate feedstock. 5 Background of the Invention Conventionally, ethylene and propylene are produced via steam cracking of paraffinic feedstocks comprising ethane or ethane/propane mixtures, known as gas cracking, or propane, butane, naphtha, NGL (natural gas liquids), 10 condensates, kero, gas oil and hydrowax, known as naphtha cracking. An alternative route to ethylene and propylene is an oxygenate-to-olefin (OTO) process. Interest in OTO processes for producing ethylene and propylene is growing in view of the increasing availability of natural gas. 15 Methane in the natural gas can be converted into, for instance, methanol or dimethylether (DME), both of which are suitable feedstocks for an OTO process. In an OTO process, an oxygenate such as methanol or dimethylether is provided to a reaction zone of a reactor 20 comprising a suitable conversion catalyst and is converted to ethylene and propylene. In addition to the desired ethylene and propylene, a substantial part of the oxygenate such as methanol is converted to higher hydrocarbons including C4+ olefins, paraffins and 25 carbonaceous deposits on the catalyst. The catalyst is continuously regenerated to remove a portion of the carbonaceous deposits by methods known in the art, for example heating the catalyst with an oxygen-containing gas such as air or oxygen. 30 The effluent from the reactor, comprising the WO 2014/067958 PCT/EP2013/072630 -2 olefins, any unreacted oxygenates such as methanol and dimethylether and other reaction products such as water, is separated from the bulk of the catalyst, usually by one or more cyclonic separation devices. The remaining 5 effluent may then be treated in a number of steps to provide separate component streams, including the desired olefin streams and by-product streams. Even after separation of the bulk of the catalyst, some solids, such as catalyst fines will remain in the reaction effluent 10 stream. In order to increase the ethylene and propylene yield of the process, a separated stream containing C4+ olefins may be recycled to the reaction zone or alternatively further cracked in a dedicated olefin 15 cracking zone to produce further ethylene and propylene. Following reaction in the OTO reactor, the reaction effluent stream must be cooled before being treated to provide separate component streams. Conventionally, the reaction effluent stream is cooled to around 140 to 3500C 20 using one or more heat exchangers, often one or more transfer line exchangers (TLEs), before being contacted with a cooled aqueous stream in a quench tower. A quench tower comprises at least one set of internals such as packing and/or trays. Packing is usually preferred due 25 to the advantage that a more compact column may be used. In usual operation, the gaseous stream to be quenched is fed into the quench tower below the internals and one or more cooled aqueous stream is fed into the quench tower above the internals. Thus, the gaseous stream travels 30 upwards through the quench tower and is brought into contact with the one or more cooled aqueous stream travelling downwards through the tower (counter-currently to the gaseous stream). The cooled gaseous stream is WO 2014/067958 PCT/EP2013/072630 -3 removed from the top of the quench tower. An aqueous stream containing condensed materials is removed at the bottom of the tower, cooled and recycled to be used as the cooled aqueous stream to be fed to the quench tower. 5 US 6870072 describes such a process for recovering heat and removing solids from the reaction effluent stream in an OTO process. In US 6870072, the reaction effluent stream is quenched by contacting it with a quench medium, typically a quench device, specifically a 10 quench tower. The water cools the reactor effluent stream and removes solids. The water containing the solids is cooled and re-used as quench medium in the quench tower. US 7329790 is directed to a process for wet 15 scrubbing and recycle of effluent contaminating catalyst particles in an OTO process. In US 7329790, two scrubbing zones are used to contact the reaction effluent stream with liquid in a counter-current fashion in the presence of trays and/or packing. That is, two quench 20 tower-type apparatuses are used in series. Water removed from the bottom of the quench towers is recycled for re use in the quench towers. Such continuous recycling of the aqueous streams, and the catalyst fines contained therein, will result in 25 solids building up on the internals of the quench towers, causing blockages. In order to overcome this, processes in the prior art have used further cyclonic separation devices in order to increase separation of solids from the reactor 30 effluent. Alternative methods have used more trays in the quench tower rather than the preferred packing leading to decreasing effectiveness of the column per unit length. A two-stage quench tower system, in which WO 2014/067958 PCT/EP2013/072630 -4 solids are removed in a first stage is described in WO 03/104170. Such a design would significantly increase CAPEX for the OTO process. It would be desirable to provide a simple process 5 for the separation of solid materials, specifically catalyst fines, from the reaction effluent stream of the OTO process, avoiding blockages in the quench tower. Summary of the Invention Accordingly, the present invention provides a 10 process for the preparation of an olefinic product, the process comprising the steps of: (a) reacting an oxygenate feedstock, comprising oxygenate, in an oxygenate reaction zone in the presence of a catalyst comprising a molecular sieve, at a 15 temperature in the range of from 350 to 10000C, to produce a reaction effluent stream, comprising at least oxygenate, olefin, water and acidic by-products; (b) cooling the reaction effluent stream by means of an indirect heat exchange to a temperature greater than the 20 dew point temperature of reaction effluent stream; (c) further rapidly cooling the reaction effluent stream to a temperature at or lower than the dew point temperature of the reaction effluent stream by direct injection of a first aqueous liquid into the reaction 25 effluent stream, to form a quench effluent stream; (d) separating the first quench effluent stream into a liquid quench stream and a gaseous quench stream; and (e) passing the gaseous quench stream into a quench tower and contacting the gaseous quench stream with a 30 second aqueous liquid in the presence of at least one set of quench tower internals, to produce a quench tower gaseous stream comprising the olefinic product.
WO 2014/067958 PCT/EP2013/072630 -5 Brief Description of the Drawings Figures 1 to 4 are schematic diagrams of exemplary, but non-limiting, embodiments of a process for the preparation of an olefinic product as described herein. 5 Figure 5 provides 2 views (5A and 5B) of an embodiment of a quench fitting. Detailed Description of the Invention The present invention addresses the problems indicated by subjecting the reaction effluent stream to a 10 direct quench with an aqueous liquid after initial cooling in one or more heat exchangers. The direct quench rapidly cools the reaction effluent stream and precipitates the solids at the same time. The solids containing liquid phase can then be separated and removed 15 from the process. The remaining gaseous material is subjected to further cooling and separation in a quench tower downstream of the quench section. Since the solids-containing liquid phase is removed from the process, the downstream conduits and equipment 20 can be designed more freely as there is not a solids issue to deal with. For example, the conduit between the direct quench step and any further equipment can have a lower velocity or be directed in an upward direction if desired without concern for solids or fouling. 25 In addition, since a large part of the cooling is carried out in the direct quench step, less cooling is required in downstream equipment. Further, since the temperature is lower, the gas volume is reduced and the downstream equipment can be smaller. Another benefit is 30 that the direct quench system can be designed for a very high turndown which is much higher than for a heat exchanger or quench tower. In step (b) the reaction effluent stream is cooled WO 2014/067958 PCT/EP2013/072630 -6 by means of an indirect heat exchange to recover the heat contained in the reactor effluent. Typically, the reaction effluent stream is indirectly contacted with a liquid stream, which is at a lower temperature, in a heat 5 exchanger. The liquid stream is suitably a process stream, for instance a reactor feed, or a water stream. The heat exchanger may be of any type known in the art, for instance a transfer line exchanger (TLE) and/or a feed/effluent exchanger. Preferably, a shell and tube 10 type heat exchanger is used. In step (b) the reaction effluent stream is cooled to a temperature greater than the dew point of the reaction effluent stream. Preferably the reaction effluent stream is cooled to a temperature of no less 15 than 1100C, preferably no less than 1400C, more preferably no less than 1500C, most preferably no less than 1600C. Preferably, the reaction effluent stream is cooled in step (b) to a temperature of at most 3700C, more preferably at most 3200C, more preferably at most 20 2700C, more preferably at most 2500C, even more preferably at most 2400C, even more preferably at most 2200C, even more preferably at most 2000C, even more preferably at most 1900C, most preferably at most 1800C. The reaction effluent stream is further cooled in 25 step (c) by injection of an aqueous liquid directly into the reaction effluent stream. The aqueous liquid is preferably water. It may suitably be fresh water, but preferably is a recycled stream from a later stage of the process for the preparation of an olefinic product. 30 Suitably, the aqueous liquid is at a temperature of at least 100C, preferably at least 200C, most preferably at least 250C. Suitably the aqueous liquid is at a temp of at most 650C, preferably at most 500C, more preferably WO 2014/067958 PCT/EP2013/072630 -7 at most 400C, most preferably at most 350C. The term 'direct injection' as used herein, indicates that the aqueous liquid is provided straight into the reaction effluent stream by a quench fitting 5 suitable for dispersing the water into fine droplets, effectively forcing the liquid as fine droplets into the gas stream. The injection of the aqueous stream is such that the aqueous stream travels through the system co current to the direction of flow of the reaction effluent 10 stream. The injection itself may occur at a tangential angle to the flow of the reaction effluent stream. The aqueous liquid is injected into the reaction effluent stream by means of a quench fitting. The quench fitting may be any means known in the art capable of 15 rapidly introducing a large quantity of water directly into a gaseous stream, but suitably comprises a spray nozzle. The aqueous stream is injected into the reaction effluent stream such that the mass ratio of the aqueous 20 stream to be injected to the total contents of the reaction effluent stream is preferably at least 0.3:1, more preferably at least 1:1, most preferably at least 3:1. Preferably, the mass ratio of the aqueous stream to be injected to the total contents of the reaction 25 effluent stream is at most 20:1, more preferably at most 15:1, even more preferably at most 10:1, most preferably at most 8:1. After cooling in step (c) the quench effluent stream must be at a temperature at or below the dew point temperature of the reaction effluent stream. 30 Preferably, the quench effluent stream is at a temperature of no more than 100 0C, more preferably less than 100 C, more preferably no more than 950C, most preferably no more than 900C, most preferably no more WO 2014/067958 PCT/EP2013/072630 -8 than 85 0C. Preferably, the quench effluent stream is at a temperature of at least 300C, more preferably at least 400C, more preferably at least 50 C, even more preferably at least 600C, even more preferably at least 5 650C, even more preferably at least 70 C, even more preferably at least 800C, most preferably at most 850C. The quench effluent stream is then separated into a liquid quench stream, comprising at least a portion of the first aqueous liquid as well as any condensed 10 materials and solids present, and a gaseous quench stream. A portion of the first aqueous liquid may have evaporated in the process and form part of the gaseous quench stream at this stage. The separation is suitably carried out in a separation vessel, such as a decanter or 15 a knock out drum. The liquid quench stream is removed. Suitably, the liquid quench stream contains the majority of the solids present in the reaction effluent stream. Preferably, at least 80wt% of the solids present in the reaction effluent stream are removed in the liquid 20 quench stream. More preferably at least 90wt%, even more preferably at least 95 wt%, even more preferably at least 98 wt%, even more preferably at least 99wt%, most preferably substantially all of reaction effluent stream. Preferably, at least 80wt% of the solids present in the 25 reaction effluent stream are removed in the liquid quench stream. After separation in step (d), the gaseous quench stream is then fed into a quench tower at a point below any internals. The term internals as used herein 30 preferably refers to packing and/or trays. Gaseous material in the quench effluent stream will then pass upwards through the quench tower and contact a second aqueous liquid which is fed into the quench tower WO 2014/067958 PCT/EP2013/072630 -9 at one or more points above at least one set of internals. Preferably, the second aqueous liquid is fed into the quench tower at one or more points above each set of internals. After contacting the second aqueous 5 liquid, the resultant quench tower gaseous stream is removed from the top of the quench tower. All other materials present in the quench tower, including oxygenates, liquid hydrocarbons and aqueous materials will pass to the bottom of the quench tower. 10 These materials may be recycled with cooling for use as the second aqueous liquid. Preferably, at least a portion of these materials are separated to provide a liquid hydrocarbon stream and an oxygenates containing liquid stream as well as a stream to be recycled as the 15 second aqueous liquid. Due to the lack of solids present after separation in step (d), blockages in the quench tower due to the deposition and build up of solids are avoided and the lifetime of the quench tower can, thus, be greatly 20 extended. An added advantage of the present invention is that, as any solids present have been removed in step (d), the gaseous quench stream can be fed into the quench tower through an inlet device allowing an even vapour distribution across the vessel cross section. For 25 example a vane type feed inlet device, e.g. a Schoepentoeter m , may be used without risk of solid build up. The oxygenates containing liquid stream can be further separated to provide an oxygenate recovery stream 30 for recycle as an oxygenate co-feed in the oxygenate reaction zone and a further aqueous recycle stream that can be cooled and used as the first aqueous liquid. Reference herein to an oxygenate feedstock is to an WO 2014/067958 PCT/EP2013/072630 - 10 oxygenate-comprising feedstock. In the oxygenate (or OTO) reaction zone, at least part of the feedstock is converted into a product containing one or more olefins, preferably including lower olefins, in particular 5 ethylene and typically propylene. The oxygenate used in the process is preferably an oxygenate which comprises at least one oxygen-bonded alkyl group. The alkyl group preferably is a C1-C5 alkyl group, more preferably C1-C4 alkyl group, i.e. comprises 10 1 to 5 or 1 to 4 carbon atoms respectively; more preferably the alkyl group comprises 1 or 2 carbon atoms and most preferably one carbon atom. Examples of oxygenates that can be used in the oxygenate feedstock include alcohols and ethers. Examples of preferred 15 oxygenates include alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol, propanol; and dialkyl ethers, such as dimethyl ether, diethyl ether, methylethyl ether. Preferably, the oxygenate is methanol or dimethyl ether, or a mixture thereof. 20 Preferably, the oxygenate feedstock comprises at least 50 wt% of oxygenate, in particular methanol and/or dimethyl ether, based on total hydrocarbons, more preferably at least 70 wt%. An oxygenate co-feed, comprising oxygenate recovered 25 or produced in the process downstream of step (d) of the process of the present invention, such as an oxygenate recovered stream, may also be supplied, as discussed below. Such a stream may contain methanol, dimethyl ether and/or MTBE. 30 A diluent, such as water or steam, may also be provided to the oxygenate reaction zone. The molar ratio of oxygenate to diluent may be between 10:1 and 1:10, preferably between 4:1 and 1:2, in particular when the WO 2014/067958 PCT/EP2013/072630 - 11 oxygenate is methanol and the diluent is water (typically steam). Preferably, in addition to the oxygenate and diluent, an olefinic co-feed is provided along with and/or as part of 5 the oxygenate feedstock. Reference herein to an olefinic co-feed is to an olefin-comprising co-feed. The olefinic co-feed preferably comprises C4+ olefins i.e. C4 and higher olefins, more preferably C4 and C5 olefins. 10 In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the olefinic co-feed comprises at least 30wt%, preferably at least 50wt%, more preferably at least 70wt% of C4 hydrocarbon species. In this embodiment, the remainder of the olefinic co-feed comprises at least 15 70wt%, more preferably at least 80wt%, even more preferably at least 90wt% C5 hydrocarbon species. In a second preferred embodiment of the present invention, the olefinic co-feed comprises at least 50wt%, preferably at least 70wt% of C5 hydrocarbon species. In 20 this embodiment, the remainder of the olefinic co-feed comprises at least 70wt%, more preferably at least 80wt%, even more preferably at least 90wt% C4 hydrocarbon species. Of the C4 hydrocarbon species present in the 25 olefinic co-feed, preferably at least 35wt%, more preferably at least 50wt%, more preferably at least 75wt% are olefins. Of the C5 hydrocarbon species present in the olefinic co-feed, preferably at least 30wt%, more 30 preferably at least 45wt% are non-cyclic olefins. In order to maximize production of ethylene and propylene, it is desirable to maximize the recycle of C4 olefins in the effluent of the OTO process. This can be WO 2014/067958 PCT/EP2013/072630 - 12 done by recycling at least part of the C4+ hydrocarbon fraction, preferably C4-C5 hydrocarbon fraction, more preferably C4 hydrocarbon fraction, in the OTO effluent. However, a certain part thereof, such as between 1 and 5 5 wt%, can be withdrawn as purge, since otherwise saturated hydrocarbons, in particular C4s (normal and iso butane) may build up in the process, which are substantially not converted under the OTO reaction conditions. Preferably, at least 70 wt% of the olefinic co-feed, during normal 10 operation, is formed by a recycle stream of a C4+ hydrocarbon fraction from the OTO reaction effluent. Preferably, at least 90 wt% of olefinic co-feed, based on the whole olefinic co-feed, is formed by such recycle stream. 15 The preferred molar ratio of oxygenate in the oxygenate feedstock to olefin in the olefinic co-feed provided to the oxygenate reaction zone depends on the specific oxygenate used and the number of reactive oxygen-bonded alkyl groups therein. Preferably the molar 20 ratio of oxygenate to olefin in the total feed lies in the range of 20:1 to 1:10, more preferably in the range of 18:1 to 1:5, still more preferably in the range of 15:1 to 1:3, even still more preferably in the range of 12:1 to 1:3. 25 A variety of OTO processes are known for converting oxygenates, such as for instance methanol or dimethyl ether to an olefin-containing product, as already referred to above. One such process is described in WO 2006/020083. Processes integrating the production of 30 oxygenates from synthesis gas and their conversion to light olefins are described in US 20070203380 and US 20070155999. Catalysts suitable for converting the oxygenate WO 2014/067958 PCT/EP2013/072630 - 13 feedstock comprise molecular sieve. Such molecular sieve-comprising catalysts typically also include binder materials, matrix material and optionally fillers. Suitable matrix materials include clays, such as kaolin. 5 Suitable binder materials include silica, alumina, silica-alumina, titania and zirconia, wherein silica is preferred due to its low acidity. Molecular sieves preferably have a molecular framework of one, preferably two or more corner-sharing 10 tetrahedral units, more preferably, two or more [Si0 4 ], [A10 4 ] and/or [P0 4 ] tetrahedral units. These silicon, aluminum and/or phosphorus based molecular sieves and metal containing silicon, aluminum and/or phosphorus based molecular sieves have been described in detail in 15 numerous publications including for example, US 4567029. In a preferred embodiment, the molecular sieves have 8-, 10- or 12-ring structures and an average pore size in the range of from about 3A to 15A. Suitable molecular sieves are 20 silicoaluminophosphates (SAPO), such as SAPO-17, -18, 34, -35, -44, but also SAPO-5, -8, -11, -20, -31, -36, 37, -40, -41, -42, -47 and -56; aluminophosphates (AlPO) and metal substituted (silico)aluminophosphates (MeAlPO), wherein the Me in MeAlPO refers to a substituted metal 25 atom, including metal selected from one of Group IA, IIA, IB, IIIB, IVB, VB, VIB, VIIB, VIIIB and Lanthanides of the Periodic Table of Elements. Preferably, the substituted metal atom (Me) is selected from one of the group consisting of Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ga, Ge, Mg, Mn, Ni, 30 Sn, Ti, Zn and Zr. Alternatively, the conversion of the oxygenate feedstock may be accomplished by the use of an aluminosilicate-comprising catalyst, in particular a WO 2014/067958 PCT/EP2013/072630 - 14 zeolite-comprising catalyst. Suitable catalysts include those containing a zeolite of the ZSM group, in particular of the MFI type, such as ZSM-5, the MTT type, such as ZSM-23, the TON type, such as ZSM-22, the MEL 5 type, such as ZSM-11, and the FER type. Other suitable zeolites are for example zeolites of the STF-type, such as SSZ-35, the SFF type, such as SSZ-44 and the EU-2 type, such as ZSM-48. Aluminosilicate-comprising catalyst, and in 10 particular zeolite-comprising catalyst are preferred when an olefinic co-feed is fed to the oxygenate conversion zone together with oxygenate, for increased production of ethylene and propylene. Preferred catalysts comprise a more-dimensional 15 zeolite, in particular of the MFI type, more in particular ZSM-5, or of the MEL type, such as zeolite ZSM-11. Such zeolites are particularly suitable for converting olefins, including iso-olefins, to ethylene and/or propylene. The zeolite having more-dimensional 20 channels has intersecting channels in at least two directions. So, for example, the channel structure is formed of substantially parallel channels in a first direction, and substantially parallel channels in a second direction, wherein channels in the first and 25 second directions intersect. Intersections with a further channel type are also possible. Preferably, the channels in at least one of the directions are 10 membered ring channels. A preferred MFI-type zeolite has a silica-to-alumina ratio, SAR, of at least 60, 30 preferably at least 80. More preferred MFI-type zeolites have a silica-to-alumina ratio in the range of from 60 to 150, more preferably of from 80 to 100. Particular catalysts include catalysts comprising WO 2014/067958 PCT/EP2013/072630 - 15 one or more zeolites having one-dimensional 10-membered ring channels, i.e. one-dimensional 10-membered ring channels, which are not intersected by other channels. Preferred examples are zeolites of the MTT and/or TON 5 type. Preferably, the catalyst comprises at least 40 wt%, preferably at least 50 wt%. of such zeolites based on total zeolites in the catalyst. In one embodiment, the catalyst comprises in addition to one or more one dimensional zeolites having 10-membered ring channels, 10 such as of the MTT and/or TON type, a more-dimensional zeolite, in particular of the MFI type, more in particular ZSM-5, or of the MEL type, such as zeolite ZSM-11. The catalyst may further comprise phosphorus as such 15 or in a compound, i.e. phosphorus other than any phosphorus included in the framework of the molecular sieve. It is preferred that a MEL or MFI-type zeolite comprising catalyst additionally comprises phosphorus. The phosphorus may be introduced by pre-treating the MEL 20 or MFI-type zeolites prior to formulating the catalyst and/or by post-treating the formulated catalyst comprising the MEL or MFI-type zeolites. Preferably, the catalyst comprising MEL or MFI-type zeolites comprises phosphorus as such or in a compound in an elemental 25 amount of from 0.05 to 10 wt% based on the weight of the formulated catalyst. A particularly preferred catalyst comprises phosphorus and MEL or MFI-type zeolite having SAR of in the range of from 60 to 150, more preferably of from 80 to 100. An even more particularly preferred 30 catalyst comprises phosphorus and ZSM-5 having SAR of in the range of from 60 to 150, more preferably of from 80 to 100. It is preferred that molecular sieves in the WO 2014/067958 PCT/EP2013/072630 - 16 hydrogen form are used in the oxygenate conversion catalyst, e.g., HZSM-22, HZSM-23, and HZSM-48, HZSM-5. Preferably at least 50% w/w, more preferably at least 90% w/w, still more preferably at least 95% w/w and most 5 preferably 100% of the total amount of molecular sieve used is in the hydrogen form. It is well known in the art how to produce such molecular sieves in the hydrogen form. The reaction conditions of the oxygenate conversion, 10 include a reaction temperature of 350 to 10000C, preferably from 350 to 7500C, more preferably 450 to 7000C, even more preferably 500 to 650 C; and a pressure from 0.1 kPa (1 mbar) to 5 MPa (50 bar), preferably from 100 kPa (1 bar) to 1.5 MPa (15 bar). 15 Preferably, the oxygenate feedstock is preheated to a temperature in the range of from 200 to 5500C, more preferably 250 to 5000C prior to contacting with the molecular sieve-comprising catalyst. The catalyst particles used in the process can have 20 any shape known to the skilled person to be suitable for this purpose, and can be present in the form of spray dried catalyst particles, spheres, tablets, rings, extrudates, etc. Extruded catalysts can be applied in various shapes, such as, cylinders and trilobes. Spray 25 dried particles allowing use in a fluidized bed or riser reactor system are preferred. Spherical particles are normally obtained by spray drying. Preferably the average particle size is in the range of 1 - 200pm, preferably 50 - 100pm. 30 Although the C4+ hydrocarbon fraction in the reaction effluent may be recycled as an olefinic co-feed as discussed above, in an alternative embodiment, at least part of the olefins in the C4+ hydrocarbon fraction WO 2014/067958 PCT/EP2013/072630 - 17 are converted to ethylene and/or propylene by contacting the C4+ hydrocarbon fraction in a separate unit with a molecular sieve-comprising catalyst, particularly a zeolite-comprising catalyst. This is particularly 5 preferred where molecular sieve-comprising catalyst in the OTO process comprises a least one SAPO, AlPO, or MeAlPO type molecular sieve, preferably SAPO-34. These catalysts are less suitable for converting C4+ olefins. Preferably, the C4+ hydrocarbon fraction is 10 contacted with the zeolite-comprising catalyst at a reaction temperature of 350 to 10000C, preferably from 375 to 7500C, more preferably 450 to 7000C, even more preferably 500 to 6500C; and a pressure from 0.1 kPa (1 mbar) to 5 MPa (50 bar), preferably from 100 kPa (1 bar) 15 to 1.5 MPa (15 bar). Optionally, the stream comprising C4+ olefins also contains a diluent. Examples of suitable diluents include, but are not limited to, liquid water or steam, nitrogen, argon, paraffins and methane. Under these 20 conditions, at least part of the olefins in the C4+ hydrocarbon fraction are converted to further ethylene and/or propylene. The further ethylene and/or propylene may be combined with the further ethylene and/or propylene obtained directly from the oxygenate reaction 25 zone. Such a separate process step directed at converting C4+ olefins to ethylene and propylene is also referred to as an olefin cracking process (OCP). Catalysts comprising molecular sieve, particularly aluminosilicate-comprising catalysts, and more 30 particularly zeolite-comprising catalysts, have the further advantage that in addition to the conversion of methanol or ethanol, these catalysts also induce the conversion of olefins to ethylene and/or propylene.
WO 2014/067958 PCT/EP2013/072630 - 18 Therefore, aluminosilicate-comprising catalysts, and in particular zeolite-comprising catalysts, are particularly suitable for use as the catalyst in an OCP. Particular preferred catalysts for the OCP reaction, i.e. converting 5 part of the olefinic product, and preferably part of the C4+ hydrocarbon fraction of the olefinic product including C4+ olefins, are catalysts comprising at least one zeolite selected from MFI, MEL, TON and MTT type zeolites, more preferably at least one of ZSM-5, ZSM-11, 10 ZSM-22 and ZSM-23 zeolites. Both the OTO process and the OCP may be operated in a fluidized bed or moving bed, e.g. a fast fluidized bed or a riser reactor system, and also in a fixed bed reactor or a tubular reactor. A fluidized bed or moving 15 bed, e.g. a fast fluidized bed or a riser reactor system are preferred. The catalyst can deactivate in the course of the OCP and OTO process. The deactivation occurs primarily due to deposition of carbonaceous deposits, such as coke, on 20 the catalyst by side reactions. The deactivated catalyst can be regenerated to remove a portion of the carbonaceous deposit by methods known in the art. It is not necessary, and indeed may be undesirable, to remove all the carbonaceous deposit from the catalyst as it is 25 believed that a small amount of residual carbonaceous deposit such as coke may enhance the catalyst performance. Additionally, it is believed that complete removal of the carbonaceous deposit may also lead to degradation of the molecular sieve. 30 The same catalyst may be used for both the OTO process and OCP. In such a situation, the catalyst comprising molecular sieve, particularly comprising aluminosilicate molecular sieve and more particularly WO 2014/067958 PCT/EP2013/072630 - 19 comprising zeolite, may be first used in the OCP reaction zone for the conversion of the C4+ olefins of the C4+ hydrocarbon fraction. The catalyst from the OCP may then be used, typically without regeneration, in the OTO 5 process for conversion of an oxygenate feedstock and an olefinic co-feed. The deactivated catalyst from the OTO process may then be regenerated as described herein, and the regenerated catalyst then used again in the OCP. This line-up may be beneficial because it provides 10 good heat integration between the OCP, OTO and regeneration processes. The OCP is endothermic and at least a portion of the heat of reaction can be provided by passing catalyst from the regeneration zone to the OCP reaction zone, because the regeneration reaction which 15 oxidizes the carbonaceous deposits from the loaded catalyst is exothermic. Embodiments of the present invention will now be described by way of example only and with reference to the accompanying non-limiting figures. 20 Figure 1 exemplifies an embodiment of the present invention. An oxygenate feedstock 101 is fed into the oxygenate reaction zone 105. An oxygenate co-feed 102 may also be supplied by an oxygenate recovery stream. A diluent 103 may also be provided to the reaction zone. 25 Preferably, an olefinic co-feed 104 is also provide to the reaction zone. The oxygenate co-feed, diluent and olefinic co-feed may be supplied to the reaction zone separately or one or more of these streams may be combined with the oxygenate feedstock or together before 30 being fed to the reaction zone. In the oxygenate (or OTO) reaction zone 105, reaction is carried out in the presence of a catalyst at a temperature in the range of from 350 to 10000C.
WO 2014/067958 PCT/EP2013/072630 - 20 Following reaction, the gaseous product is separated from the bulk of the catalyst, e.g. by cyclonic separation devices, to produce a reaction effluent stream 106. The reaction effluent stream is cooled in one or more heat 5 exchangers 107 situated in series, to provide a cooled reaction effluent stream 108 at a temperature greater than the dew point temperature of the reaction effluent stream and preferably in the range of from 150 to 250 0C. A first aqueous liquid 110 is directly injected into the 10 cooled reaction effluent stream through a quench fitting (e.g. a spray nozzle) 109, rapidly cooling said stream by mixing it with a large quantity of water to a temperature at or below the dew point temperature of the reaction effluent stream. 15 The resultant quench effluent stream 111 is then fed to a separation device 112 and separated into a liquid quench stream 113, containing liquid and solids, and a gaseous quench stream 114. This stream 114 is then fed into a quench tower 115 containing internal and/or 20 packing 116 and 117. At least one second aqueous liquid stream 126, 128 is fed into the quench tower above the internals and/or packing. An aqueous stream 123 is removed from the bottom of the 25 quench tower 115 and cooled in air or water coolers 125 and 127 to provide the second aqueous liquid streams 126, 128. In the embodiment of the invention exemplified in Figure 1, a liquid stream 119 is removed from the bottom 30 of the quench tower and optionally passed to the separation vessel 120. A gaseous stream 121 is optionally returned to the quench tower 115. Aqueous material 122 is added to the aqueous stream for recycle.
WO 2014/067958 PCT/EP2013/072630 - 21 Liquid hydrocarbon stream 124 may be separated as a waste stream or for use as fuel. An oxygenate containing liquid stream 129 is separated and passed to an oxygenate separation zone 130 5 to produce an oxygenate recovered stream 131, which may be used as oxygenate co-feed 102 and an aqueous stream 132, which after cooling in an air or water cooler 134, can be re-used as the first aqueous liquid 110. A quench tower gas stream 118 comprising the 10 olefinic product is removed from the top of the quench tower. A basic material, for instance a caustic solution, 133 may be added into the process to prevent the lowering of the pH due to the accumulation of acids in the recycle 15 streams. Figure 2 shows one possible embodiment of the invention as it is incorporated into an overall process for the production of olefinic products such as ethylene and propylene. Oxygenate feedstock 201, an oxygenate co 20 feed 202, a diluent 203 and an olefinic co-feed 204 are provided to an oxygenate reaction zone 205. Reaction is carried out in the presence of a catalyst at elevated temperatures. The reaction product is separated from the catalyst to provide reaction effluent stream 206. The 25 cooling and initial separation of steps (b), (c), (d) and (e) of the present invention are carried out one or more times in series or in parallel to provide a quench tower gaseous stream 218. An oxygenate containing liquid stream 229 is also produced and can be subjected to 30 separation and purification in the oxygenate separation zone 230 before being recycled as the oxygenate co-feed 202. A solid stream 213 is also produced. The quench tower gas stream 218 is compressed in one WO 2014/067958 PCT/EP2013/072630 - 22 or more gas compression stages 236 and is then passed to a carbonyl compound absorption zone 237 in which the stream is treated with a caustic solution to remove carbon dioxide and carbonyl compounds. The resultant 5 stream 238 is further compressed in one or more compression stages 239 before being passed to water removal zone 240. After water removal, the remaining gas stream 241 enters an olefin separation zone 242 to be separated, preferably by one or more cryogenic 10 distillation processes, to provide two or more olefinic component streams 243, 244, 245 and 204, including a stream comprising C4+ olefins which is recycled as olefinic co-feed 204. In one alternative embodiment, all or part 246 of 15 this stream 204 is subjected to an OCP 247 to provide a stream comprising ethylene and propylene 248. This stream 248 can then be fed back into the process as part of olefin rich gas stream 218. Figure 3 shows an embodiment of the present 20 invention wherein it is combined with a process for producing an olefinic product by naphtha cracking. Feed stream 349, comprising any, preferably paraffinic, feedstocks within the boiling range of propane, butane, naphtha, NGL (natural gas liquid), 25 condensate, kero, gas oil or hydrowax, is subjected to cracking in one or more pyrolysis furnaces/reactors 350, by heating at a temperature in the range of from 750 to 9000C. The cracked effluent product stream is produced in a multitude of parallel coils in one pyrolysis 30 furnace. The cracked effluent is cooled in one or more parallel transfer line exchangers per furnace. In Figure 3, stream 351 represents all cracked effluent product streams of all furnaces. Each furnace has one or more WO 2014/067958 PCT/EP2013/072630 - 23 transfer line exchangers in series 352, which cool the temperature down to in the range of from 300 to 6500C. The thus-cooled stream 353 is subjected to an oil quench via quench fitting 354 to further reduce the temperature 5 to in the range of from 150 to 2700C. One or more streams 355 produced in this manner are then fed to a gasoline fractionator 356. A bottoms stream 357 of the gasoline fractionator is removed and passed through a heat exchanger 358, before being recycled to the 10 fractionator or used as the oil quench 361. Side product streams including ECR (ethylene cracked residue being stripped using quench oil) 359, CGO (cracked gas oil) and solids/coke 360 can be removed from the bottoms stream. Optionally, a side stream CGO 363 can be produced from 15 the gasoline fractionator. A gaseous stream 362 is removed from the top of the gasoline fractionators and fed to a quench tower 364, containing one or more sets of internals (365 and 366). An aqueous stream 367 is removed from the bottom of the 20 quench tower and is recycled 375, 376 after cooling in air or water cooled heat exchangers 373, 374. A side draw 368 from the quench tower is fed to separation vessel 369 providing a gaseous stream 370, a recycle aqueous stream 371, a gasoline-containing stream 372, 25 which is fed back into the gasoline fractionators 356, with an optional bleed 380 and caustic dosing 378, and a process water stream 379 for further processing. The olefin rich quench tower overhead stream 377 can be combined with the quench tower gas stream 318 from the 30 OTO process. Figure 4 shows an embodiment of the present invention wherein it is combined with a process for producing an olefinic product by ethane or ethane/propane WO 2014/067958 PCT/EP2013/072630 - 24 cracking. Ethane or ethane/propane feed 481 is provided to one or more parallel pyrolysis furnaces/reactors 482 and heated at a temperature in the range of from 800 to 5 9500C. Each pyrolysis furnace has parallel transfer line exchangers. Each pyrolysis furnace can have one or more transfer line exchangers in series. The effluent gas stream 483 represents the furnace effluent from all pyrolysis furnaces. The furnace effluent is cooled to a 10 temperature in the range of from 180 to 3200C in one or more heat exchangers 484 in series. One or more gas streams 485 produced by this method are combined and fed to a quench tower 464 containing internals 465 and 466. The quench tower is operated as described for Figure 3. 15 In the separator 469, coke 486, heavy oil/pitch 487 and pygas/gasoline 488 streams are separated for processing and/or use elsewhere. It should be noted herein that, in the numbers on Figures 1-4 and referred to in the text, corresponding 20 features on different Figures will have the same second and third digits in their indicative numbers, with the first digit referring to the Figure number. Thus, number 361 and 461 will refer to the same feature in Figures 3 and 4, respectively 25 Figure 5 uses a different numbering scheme than Figures 1-4 and the items in this Figure are not related by number to any of the previous Figures.
